TEAM-BUILDING WORKSHOP
Navigating Invisible Obstacles
I don’t deliver my blind football live masterclass because I’m looking for the next blind Pele or seeking to frighten people within an inch of their life. But because it’s the quickest and simplest way to get my clients to experience life literally and metaphorically in the dark. There are external obstacles – some moving like the other players and some stationary like a metal goalpost. But there are also internal obstacles that can leave you feeling lost, stuck and indecisive.
Never Losing Sight of the Goal
Team members get to understand how their individual tasks fit within the group. They have to give instructions from another’s perspective as well as decide between paying attention to the ball or the voices around them.
A Level Playing Field
You don’t have to know how to play (or even like!) football to have a really positive experience. When you put on your blindfold, People tell us they leave with a positively different outlook on life.
What clients say
“The practical was great fun and got everyone engaging and enjoying themselves. It really set us up for the rest of the event.”
“Even though you tell people to forget about rank, people can’t. But when you blindfold everyone, we were all at the same level and it didn’t matter. All you focused on was who was looking after you. It was a real game changer for team bonding because we were all experiencing the same vulnerability.”
“I’ve never experienced anything where you’ve had to trust somebody that quickly – you built that over the course of an hour. No other team building experience did that so quickly and effectively.”
